This semester has simply flown by!!  I have been so proud of everyone as they jump into these research units. I am no longer teaching; I am simply facilitating the learning. I am learning just as much as the students are and I am having a BLAST!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful kiddos with me!!!

                1^st  Family Traditions and Customs

We have “elfed” ourselves and written stories about our adventures. If you have not sent in five, stamped, addressed envelopes, please send them in by 1/4/2016.  It is hard to conduct our grandparent (or aunt or uncle) pen-pal campaign without those envelopes!!

                2^nd/3^rd    Zoology

We have several invertebrate labs coming up. Come on in and join us Monday if you’d like to participate in our WORM LAB.  After the break, we will continue with our invertebrate labs.

                4^th/5^thANATOMY and PHYSIOLOGY

We are in the middle of a 5 SENSES LAB ROTATION.  The mini research project is due by January 4^th. Parent-to-Parent is coming out on January 7^th to host a free SPEEDOMETRY event from 6:00-7:00. (Students MUST be accompanied by a parent.) We also have a field trip to the Whitte approved for January 8^th to see the BODIES REVEALED exhibit.   I am encouraging every student to bring a parent with them.  Permission slips should go home for both events next week.

               1st-5th  

 *** I still have several students who have not brought in their school supplies. Please, please, please try to send in SCISSORS, a PENCIL SHARPENER, and COLORED PENCILS for 2016. 

*** All GT work sessions will be temporarily suspended for a couple of weeks in January. During this testing window, I will be administering tests to prospective GT students.  

***Parents are welcome to drop by any time.  We LOVE visitors!!!!
